CHAPTER XXVIII
April sat in the agent's office, with two contracts in front of her, a rental contract and a transfer contract, she scanned the contracts at a glance, and after confirming that there were no major problems, she signed the rental contract as well.
The landlord is a tall and thin middle-aged man, who looks kind, and when the contract is signed in April, he also took the contract and signed his name on Party B, in this regard, the café downstairs in Ningtai Center was officially taken down by April and Wen Xiaoxiao, after signing the transfer contract, Wen Xiaoxiao and the transferor went to the bank downstairs to handle the transfer, and the landlord and April sat there and talked without stubble, understanding their situation, April smiled, their situation, it is really a little difficult to explain.
After seeing the transfer of this café last time, the determination to plate down in April was very firm, and I told Wang Ming about it when I went back, Wang Ming also raised his interest after hearing that place, Ningtai Center is famous for its diversified business formats in the building in the past two years, you stand in its lobby, look at the company name brand on the floor, you can see a variety of studios, varied, dazzling.
In fact, at the beginning, Ningtai was just an ordinary business building, but because it belonged to a duplex house, plus the location was not bad, the rent was not so daunting, so it was deeply loved by young people to start a business, for a time many studios and small companies have moved here, there are many young people, plus Ningtai is actually a form of commercial and residential buildings, which can accommodate the catering format, so many private dishes and cafes have also emerged, and then there are bar formats, such as the HWG bar on the 21st floor and the Helen bar on the 6th floor。 So when Wang Ming heard that it was here, he couldn't help but go up to April overnight to see it.
Came to the center of Ningtai, they walked to the café to be transferred to take a look, Wang Ming felt that the place and the house type are good, the ground floor has more than 400 square meters, plus the jump, a total of more than 500 square meters, larger than the villa last time I saw, plus the café has been decorated, they should save a lot of decoration costs, the most important thing is that the location is not bad, how is it also in the second ring road, better than the location of the villa, although there is a transfer fee, but it is not high, it is reasonable for this location, after reading it, he and April took the elevator upstairs, ready to observe the survival of the business here。
Many studios are closed at night, but there are still a lot of people waiting for the elevator, most of them go to the 6th and 21st floors, in addition, some of them go to private cinemas and KTV on other floors, and the excitement here at night does not look worse than during the day.
On the way home, the car stopped at an intersection waiting for the traffic light, and Wang Ming suddenly said: "You can't open a café there, you have to open a bar." ”
April shook his hand and almost knocked the mineral water on the passenger seat.
Wang Ming persuaded April not to spend a lot of effort, because April was also there at night, and saw the grand scene on the 21st and 6th floors, so she also knew in her heart that in fact, it was much better to open a bar there than a café, and the problem now was that she was going to persuade Wen Xiaoxiao and Xu Yang, the three of them had already made a lot of trouble because of the location of the store, and now they were going to tell them to replace the café with a bar, the difficulty can be imagined, and April seems to have felt the invisible pressure.
The next day.
"You're not sick, are you? open a bar? Just three of us weak women?" Wen Xiaoxiao really looked at April with an unbelievable look, as if what she just said was a fantasy.
"You can go at night to see how business is going on the 6th and 21st floors, and for the first time I've seen people go to drink and still rank up. April looked at Wen Xiaoxiao for a long time, her reaction just now was completely unexpected.
"Then we're going to open a bar? No, no, the relationship that the bar has to deal with is too complicated, and we definitely can't do it. Wen Xiaoxiao's head was still shaking like a rattle.
"My dear, what age is it now, do you think that it was still more than ten years ago, and opening a bar meant that you had to have a place in the underworld? We just need to follow the normal procedure, that is, run a place where we just drink, how can we do it?" April said to her reasonably, and finally came another dose of fierce medicine, "We have a café under the plate, it has already opened, and we have not learned our lesson?"
Wen Xiaoxiao vaguely felt that what April said made a little sense, but when she thought of the difficulty of opening a bar, she still hesitated to speak: "Maybe this store will collapse because its decoration style does not match people's tastes now, or it is not well managed, right?"
April smiled meaningfully at her, and shook her index finger from side to side twice, "Never think you're going to be that exception, you and I will go and have a look at it in the evening, you should be better after reading it." ”
In the evening, April took Wen Xiaoxiao to Ningtai, along the route she took with Wang Ming last night, and took Wen Xiaoxiao around, Wen Xiaoxiao originally had a 30% wavering heart under the persuasion of April, and it was completely decided at this time, she didn't expect that there were so many people who came to the bar here to play, the bars on the 6th and 21st floors didn't look very stylish, but they were all crowded, if they opened one on the first floor, it would be able to intercept one-third of the flow of people in these two bars, it would be very good, she couldn't help but get excited when she thought about it, and completely accepted April's proposal。
The remaining problem is Xu Yang.
At 1 o'clock at noon, the famous commercial street in S City was crowded, and Wen Xiaoxiao was found in the Starbucks in Wangfujing in April, she was sitting there playing with her mobile phone, with a cup of latte on the table, and when she looked up and saw April coming in, she pointed to the opposite position and said, "She's parking, you go and order something to drink first." ”
April nodded, lined up behind the long queue in front of the counter, a bartender stood in the counter, asked the customers in line one by one what to drink, and after getting the answer, he wrote on the sticky note paper, tear it off and give it to you, let it be your turn to order directly to the cashier, it didn't take long for her turn, after she finished ordering, she saw that there were unusually many people who took drinks, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was better to sit for a while and come over, so she turned around and went to find Wen Xiaoxiao.
Not long after she sat down, she saw Xu Yang walking in in a hurry, followed by a sturdy man, helping her carry large bags of shopping bags, the man lowered his head and did not smile.
"It's so hot, it's September, why is it still so hot. Xu Yang saw Wen Xiaoxiao when he entered the door, and after he came over and sat down, he began to complain, and he didn't mean to introduce the people around him, the man didn't speak, so he sat down next to her, and then took out his mobile phone and started playing.
April didn't plan to speak, since the last time she sent that message to Xu Yang, they hadn't met, and they hadn't called, and today she came over thinking that after all, she would have to cooperate later, and she didn't want to be too stiff, so she decided to make up the numbers.
"Yangyang, we asked you out today to confirm the matter of Ningtai, you also said that it was okay last time, and then we investigated it again, and felt that it might be better to open a bar there than a café, so I wanted to ask for your opinion. Wen Xiaoxiao put down the phone and said to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang originally planned to light a cigarette, but the cigarette came out, but seeing that smoking seemed to be prohibited in the room here, she had to put the cigarette down, she smiled, "I said before, I just want to be an investor, and you and April will decide the business problem, and I won't get involved." ”
"That's the case, but what we're going to do still has to be told to you in advance, and you can still put forward your opinions. Wen Xiaoxiao saw that she seemed to be really planning to retreat into the background, and she was still a little relieved when she was surprised.
Xu Yang laughed meaningfully, didn't speak, just sat there flipping through the phone and playing, the man sitting next to her was still silent, as if he didn't hear them talking, and a smell called embarrassment filled the air.
In the end, Wen Xiaoxiao broke such an embarrassing situation, she smiled and mentioned that Ma Bo's friend had a birthday the day before yesterday, and his friend's wife heard that she was going to open her own store, and she came over to ask her with great interest, and seemed to want to join a little feeling, but unfortunately she said that she had already settled with two friends and rejected her.
"Why don't you agree? Agree, aren't we one less risky with one more person?" Xu Yang was originally slumped on the sofa, but when he heard Wen Xiaoxiao's words, he suddenly straightened up and said with great interest.
Xu Yang's attitude Wen Xiaoxiao didn't expect it, and she was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to answer her.
April leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and after hearing Xu Yang's words, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a sarcastic smile, and she said lightly, "The partner is not something you want to add, after all, there are people who don't understand to join in, and it will take a long time to run-in, which is not necessarily a good thing for the development of the store, and the risk will increase at that time." ”
Xu Yang seemed a little disappointed after hearing this, but she didn't continue to insist, just pouted and said, "Okay, I won't tell you, I said that it doesn't matter, you can decide it, tell me when it's settled, I'll go first, my mother is still waiting for me to buy shrimp at home." ”
After saying that, he stood up and left, really in response to that sentence, came in a hurry, went in a hurry, and the man next to him also stood up and followed her out, like an obedient little wolf dog.
Wen Xiaoxiao stared at Xu Yang's departing back intently, and only remembered that she hadn't gone to get coffee yet, she quickly stood up and walked over, handed over her voucher, and the bartender pushed a paper cup in front of her after seeing it, and said as if reproachful, "It's been done a long time ago." ”
April didn't bother to bother with him, took her cup of coffee, and shook back to her seat, and then saw Wen Xiaoxiao turn her head and say to her seriously: "April, we may really want to ask Ma Bo's friend's wife to come out and talk about the partnership."
April "......"
